Call him (leather) daddy.
Andrew Scott, the breakout star and beloved actor from All of Us Strangers, Ripley, and Spectre, is the latest cover star featured in the autumn/winter issue of fashion magazine Diaries 99.
The photo shoot, which has now been unveiled on the official Instagram page for Diaries 99, shows Scott in a way we’ve never seen him before: wearing a harness and serving “leather daddy” realness. In fact, Scott’s issue in the publication has three cover variants… and the actor wears leather in all three of them!
“So happy to share these covers (1/3) with Andrew Scott for FW24 issue of @thediaries99,” photographer and Diaries 99 editor-in-chief Bartek Szmigulski wrote on Instagram.
The first cover shows a shirtless Scott wearing a leather harness and firmly holding onto it. Just like his recent stint at the 2024 Met Gala, the arms are arm-ing! But another standout feature in this photo is the mustache that Scott rocking.
According to the credits, hair stylist Brady Lea was responsible for Scott’s grooming in the photo shoot. And let’s just say he fully understood this assignment!
The second cover variant for this issue has Scott wearing a Tom of Finland-esque cap, a mesh top that is unbuttoned enough to show his chest, and leather pants. Bonus points if you noticed the sneaky detail that his zipper isn’t entirely zipped up. Here, Szmigulski credits Dsquared2 for the outfit.
Even though Scott is smiling for this cover, he’s still very much giving seductive “leather daddy” energy while showing his signature (disarming) smile as well.
This third and final cover from Scott on Diaries 99 features the actor wearing an iconic Alexander McQueen leather overcoat and posing as if he had been dancing to a song. This is probably the most “demure” look of all three variants, but Scott still understands the assignment and gives us something that we’re literally living for.
If you’re unfamiliar, Diaries 99 describes itself as a “fashion magazine that takes you on a visually stunning journey through time, celebrating the iconic styles of the past while embracing the spirit of today.” The magazine is “a vibrant fusion of 90s nostalgia and contemporary fashion trends, making it a go-to-title for the modern man seeking a dose of timeless style inspiration.”
